From 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 12, Medical Center Drive will be reduced to one southbound lane of traffic. The lane reduction will extend from the intersection of Medical Center Drive and 21st Avenue South to the crosswalk at the west exit of East Garage.

VUPD officers and flagmen will be on site to direct vehicular and pedestrian traffic during this time.

The lane closure is necessary to set up a construction crane for the renovation of the eighth floor of Medical Center East. The project will expand patient bed capacity at the Medical Center.
